Sentra Se
| | Model of the car: | Sentra Se | | | General comments: | I BOUGHT THIS CAR IN MARCH 2004. IT HAD 36000 MILES ON IT. JADE GREEN COLOR HAS ALLOWED ME TO CALL IT THE LITTLE MEAN GREEN MACHINE! EVEN WITH AUTO, THIS CAR HAS A LOT OF GET UP AND GO. I WANTED A STICK SHIFT, BUT AT AGE 55, MY WIFE CONVINCED ME TO GO AUTOMATIC SO I WOULD STAY OUT OF TROUBLE WITH THE OTHER RICE BURNERS IN THIS AREA! 2 OF THE FIRESTONE GTA 195X55R16 TIRE ARE 80% SHOT WHILE THE OTHER 2 ARE STILL IN GOOD SHAPE. TIRE ROTATION APPARENTLY WAS NOT A PRIORITY WITH PREVIOUS OWNER. OVERALL THE CAR IS IN EXCELLENT SHAPE, RIDES WELL, AC IS AWESOME AND GAS MILEAGE OVERALL IS 26MPG. I AM VERY IMPRESSED WITH THE ADDED FEATURES OF THE SE SPORT VERSION PACKAGE. WHAT A DIFFERENCE IT MAKES WITH FEATURE LIKE 4 WHEEL DISC BRAKES, DUAL POWER SIDE MIRRORS KEYLESS ENTRY, ETC. MY SON SAYS I SHOULD DEFINITELY CONSIDER USING SYNTHETIC OIL, AND GO WITH 205X55R16 TIRES | | | What things have gone wrong with the car: | JUST A FEW MINOR GLITCHES...CUP HOLDERS IN HARD TO REACH LOCATION, ESPECIALLY WHEN DRIVING. THE FOG LIGHTS ONLY WORK WITH THE HEADLIGHTS. ON MY 2003 ALTIMA, YOU CAN USE THE FOG LIGHTS WITH THE PARKING LIGHTS. A HEADS UP INDICATOR ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL TO SHOW YOUR POSITION FOR THE TRANSMISSION WOULD BE NICE(INSTEAD OF LOOKING DOWN TO THE SHIFTER). THE VERY DARK SEATS, AND THE BLACK DASH WILL PROBABLY CAUSE THE AC TO WORK OVERTIME ON A HOT SUNNY DAY. WILL PROBABLY GET AFTERMARKET TINT ON WINDOWS TO HELP ELIMINATE SOME OF THAT PROBLEM. SO FAR THE PAINT IS IN GREAT SHAPE. HOWEVER I'VE LEARNED OVER THE YEARS AND WITH SEVERAL CARS THAT REGULAR CARE INCLUDING BI-MONTHLY WAX APPLICATION | | | Previous car: | 1994 SENTRA XE..OWNED FOR 7 YEARS. GREAT CAR BOUGHT IT WITH 43000 SOLD IT IN FEB. WITH 96000 NEVER HAD ANY MAJOR PROBLEMS WITH IT..BECAUSE OF ITS TRACK RECORD, IS WHY I CHOSE ANOTHER SENTRA. I FEEL A LITTLE SAFER NOW ALSO, WITH SAFETY FEATURES ON THE SE, |
